Hi everybody. On Saturday I drove from Gainesville to St. Augustine Beach.
While I was driving down the street in my D, I saw another Delorean going the
opposite way. Does anybody know this person? Thanks for the help.

I've had to replace more than 1 front bearing unfortunately...
The easies way was shown to me by a local mechanic (Thanks Ed!).
Put the bearing into the freezer for a couple of hours,
disassemble the hub and rotor (very straight forward removal
of bolts and stuff) remove the worn/damaged bearing.
On mine I could tap it out using an old socket.
Make sure you tap it out STRAIGHT, the fit is VERY tight...
To get the bearing in we heated the bare hub on an old electric cooker
for about 5 minutes, the the cold bearing would just fall in!
Let everything cool (mind your fingers!) and re-assemble everything
carefully. Make sure you torque everything to specs accoriding the manual.
When putting the bearing over the spindle, make sure the bearing gets
enough "pinch". I had one worn inner seal (the top-hat-like thingie)
that cause my bearing to be too loose; the applied torque was on the
end of the spindle, not the bearing! Caused the bearing to fail within
200 miles the first time! We put in a spacer to compensate and it's
been OK for the last year or so, so I'm happy...
Good luck,

Subject: Misfire problems - please help :-(
List :-
I have been having misfire problems for months and I am slowly
eliminating every possible cause.
BACKGROUND & SYMPTOMS:
This all happened when on the way home from work a water pipe burst,
the engine did not get excessively hot as it happened just as I got
to my drive, the temp gauge was low and I saw the steam straight away.
I took of the water pump and replaced the pipe and I have had this
problem ever since.
When 1st started the engine runs rough and will stall as soon as you
touch the accelerator until the car is suitably warm, generally idles
rough and pops and farts during general driving.
THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN CHECKED:
1) Injectors - all seem to have a good spray pattern and spray the
same quantity of fuel, I did change 2 that I was not 100% happy with.
2) Cap and rotor are in good condition, sparkplugs are new and gapped
correctly, coil is new, HT leads are new and get power to the plugs.
3) I checked the emissions with my gas analyser and they seemed to be
fine - (within the legal limit perhaps slightly rich)
4) Vacuum leads are new (in the engine bay) and I get a good vacuum
reading from the intake manifold when the car is running.
This is driving me nuts, the car doesn't drive terribly well as it
pops and farts as well as having a general lack of power, and it
idles like a dog.
I have got lots of shows coming up and need to get her up and running
again.
Any advice welcome (could timing have anything to do with it?)

If you took the water pump off I assume you removed the intake and
maybe the spark plug wires?? because it sounds like you have a
crossed spark wire. Remember this engine has a different firing
order than most 6 cylinders.

Subject: Re: Temperature Guage help
I ended up searching the archives.. it tooks me forever to find the
right words to use to get some resaults. "gauge sender" did it for me
finally. Some one suggested using a wire (i used a paperclip. John
Hervey always tells me "You can't have a DeLorean without a
paperclip") to poke the needle through the hole that the tripometer
reset lever goes through the clear plastic of the console. BE
CAREFUL... i ended up scratching the guages in the area just a bit...
not noticable unless you shine a light on it... but none-the-less.
Once I turned the needle around a bit... then switched the car back
on... it sprang back into the right position and read temperature
again.

Subject: Re: Misfire problems - please help :-(
Make sure the Lambda is running, the frequency valve on the right
valve cover should be buzzing. Make sure there are no vacuum leaks,
check the hole over the mixture screw for a plug, check the vacuum
hoses to the control pressure regulator and the seals and hoses to and
from the idle motor. Of course this assumes when you did the water
pump you did all fo the hoses correctly. Check the hoses and
electrical connector on the ignition advance. You may have to do a
compression check, you may have overheated the motor more than you
think, you might have popped a head gasket. When the car overheats,
the temperature gauge can't sense the coolant so the motor gets hotter
than the gauge would indicate.

Check your oil. If there's a milky white substance on the dipstick,
heads may have warped. Can also sometimes see steam from tailpipe.
Do you have any unexplained coolant loss (now that system is tight)?

Take them to a NAPA store with a machine shop. Their machinists are
certified and NAPA has the replacement bearing. Have them mount the
rotors for you too. BTW, if the rotors have not been cut before,
NAPA may be able to refinish them . I did mine a few years ago and
they are great. Don't forget the loctite for the rotor mounting
bolts.

Subject: Re: Paint for louver
Dave,
For louvers, I have used Krylon Semi-Flat Black with good results.
Most recently, I painted the louvers on D Rex about 15 months ago
with Krylon Semi-Flat Black and it still looks good. Note: D Rex
is outside on display at GodMudders most of the time (uncovered).
Most of the underbody and frame of the D Rex has DupliColor brand
textured truck bedliner coating on it, and although it does look
good in these areas, I do not think it would "wear" as well on a
set of louvers. It will peel if the surface is not REALLY clean
of all oil, grease or the "look good" coatings such as Armour All.
Coating may chip if louvers make contact with the roof T-panel.
I would stick with the Krylon or have a paint shop re-spray the
louvers with a Semi-Flat Black paint made for use with fiberglass.
Later,
Rich W.

Subject: DeLorean For Sale
Hello List Members,
I was at a car show on Saturday and was approached by a man who said
he knew someone with a DeLorean for sale. He didn't have a lot of
details. It sounds like an 82...its painted blue, 5-speed, grey
interior, less than 30K miles. He thought it was running but needed
a water pump. He said that the owner may be negotiable on the price
(he thinks the owner is asking about $6K). He gave me his name and
phone number, if anyone is interested contact me offline and I'll put
you in touch with him.
I will be at the Mid-Atlantic Spring Social this weekend. Sorry I
don't have any more details.

Subject: Re: Re: Paint for louver
Hello,
Thanks for the advice Rich. I decided not to go with the bedliner
spray on the louver after talking to a few people. I thought it might give a
cheap appearance to the car. Autozone had a new paint by Dupli-Color that I
have never seen there before. It is called Dupli-color "Trim Paint". Can
says it "Restores OEM Black finishes" "Quick Drying" etc. If Michigan wasnt
so damn cold I would be painting the louver right now but it looks like I may
have to wait until Thursday. I also purchased some surface prep cleaner to
remove the years of Armor All. I will let you all know how it turns out.
ps. I saw my first Bricklin "in the wild" at Autozone today.
Peace,

What's with the louvre paint?
I thought my louvres were faded beyond repair. They looked horrible. I
sprayed them down with armor all and let it sit (didn't wipe it off right
away). Now they look much better, almost like new (or maybe new? I have
never seen a new louvres...)
For a group that shirks painted Deloreans, it seems that the louvres get
painted pretty fast.

I bought my Delorean new in 83. I recently had it restored to factory
fresh...it was in great shape going in and looks excellent now.
Problem is that I didn't redo wheels and they are shedding paint
chips and need redone which I understand is expensive. And I am
wondering if some sweet new chrome or aluminium wheels might look
better. Maybe even those crazy ones that keep spinning at stops. Any
suggestions will be welcomes and appreciated.
